Lamelos auction on Friday evening, 30 September 2011

In three previous editions, in 2006, 2007 and 2008, the Lamelos auction has grown to legendary proportions. The four Lamelos artists not only bring their comics to the auction block, but a collection of donated items as well; the participants were encouraged to bring their unwanted useful stuff from home. Proceeds were used for buying lots more beer to drink.

The auction took place on Friday, 30 September 2011 from 5:30 to midnight.

Dace Sietina exposition

In July and August the gallery showed the colorful creations by Latvian artist Dace Sietina, who lives and works in the city of Gouda. Dace explores the comics medium in a refreshing way, resulting in very accessible artworks that create their own universe in pictures and words.

The festive opening of the exposition 'Let's Cosmos' by Dace Sietina took place on 1 July 2011. The exposition lasted until 28 August 2011, and many of her beautiful and affordable artworks have been sold.
